Alex took a larger role in this year's Lower School Spring Concert. He'd been telling us about a part playing one of the seven dwarves for over a month, but we just found out recently that he had a secret role.
Early in the fairy tale themed concert, several princesses were struggling with what they were looking for in a good man. Alex came out with a crown and proclaimed that he was a prince and therefore the man of their dreams. They turned up their noses at him (in song, of course) and he stomped off for a quick costume change.
Soon thereafter he came out as Happy the dwarf. They had their own song, and the chorus had been echoing through our heads for weeks from impromptu practice sessions at home: (To the tune of Heigh Ho) "Don't mock, Take stock. It's true, we really rock. We're Bashful, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Doc."
Alex promised us that having his shirt half-tucked into his pants was an intentional choice, important to the motivation of his character's personality.
